    from Maui, HI winters... Thunder Bay, ON (our home)

    Best Shoe on the Market! I have at least a dozen pairs of Birkenstock's Gizeh shoes. I wear them day and night and find them the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. The style works for both casual and dressy. Excellent support when standing many hours. My only complaint is I'm told this style is no longer being made in the narrow width. Please, please re-consider this decision. I've only bought one pair this winter which was the only one available in the narrow width. Many of my friends are now wearing Gizeh too, due to my continual praise of this style. Your Maui Birkenstock Stores are just superb! We spend our winters here annually. First admired them a few years ago on a lady who highly recommended them due to the comfort. She said she owned 35 pairs, I thought she was crazy then, but I'd be the same if they continued to make them in the narrow width!

    I love Birkenstocks - I have 8 pairs of Birkenstocks, but this is the best one. I bought this shoe about 8 or 9 years ago and still have the same pair. They are my favorite shoes. I would buy another pair, but it takes so long to break Birkenstocks in!

    Well, after much hype over these shoes I decided to try them. These felt awkward on my feet no matter how much I adjusted the strap, and I know they were the correct size. The thong piece is hard plastic and it hurt. The phrase "break the shoe in" is a mild understatement on these puppies. It's not worth it!

    About Birkenstock

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Birkenstock are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    Birkenstock® has been a family owned and operated business for over 200 years when Johann Adam Birkenstock first registered as a shoemaker in a small German village. In fact, all Birkenstock footwear is still made in Germany; a tradition that requires a natural respect for both the environment and future generations.

    Birkenstock is based on the simple principles of health and wellness, quality workmanship and materials, and a respect for the environment. Did you know that Birkenstock created the original contoured footbed that supports and shapes to your foot when walking? And it's made of 100% natural and renewable cork. You can feel good that you are supporting your feet and the environment at the same time. You could call it sustainable comfort.

    Birkenstock footwear is designed and sized to provide a roomy fit allowing your toes and feet to wiggle and be free. This sometimes takes a bit of getting used to. Also, most Birkenstock styles come in two widths: narrow and regular, so you can really find the best possible fit for your feet. For the most natural fit, your feet should rest comfortably inside the footbed and there should be about ¼” between your toes and the end of the footbed.

    No other part of your body is subject to as much stress and strain as your feet and that is why it is so important to take care of them. With features like a contoured cork footbed, a deep heel cup, and a roomy toe box, Birkenstock clogs and sandals provide more than simply cushioning. Birkenstock footwear provides the perfect balance of firm support and shock resistance allowing your feet and body to be naturally supported.

    Great shoe! Very comfortable, and I love how stylish it is! It tends to run a little large though, so I had to buy it a size smaller than I usually wear.

    Gizeh's are GREAT! What I like best about this style of Birkie is that it fits perfectly! Because of the adjustable vamp strap, anyone can wear this shoe and look great. I am overweight and often have swollen feet...but these shoes continue to feel good even at the end of a long day. The absolute next best thing is that this style is simple, elegant, and feminine. I can easily wear this in the office without a second thought to style because I know it looks good with pants or a dress. These are my number one summer sandles!

    Three cheers for Gizeh - These birkenstock sandals are truly comfortable and comform to my feet within a few days. I use my birkenstocks during my daily four to six mile walk...These have done wonders for my lower back, knees and instep...I can't praise these enough. I highly recommend these Birkenstocks...

    Help for the thong newbies! I love birkenstock and wear gizehs almost exclusively. I have two pair one of which is five years old. They do actually take a bit to break in. I have worn thong sandals all my life and the plastic part on these babies still made my toes hurt at first! I would recommend wearing them around the house and on short trips for a couple weeks. If that doesn't help try bending the shoe a bit at the toe, this takes some of the pressure off the toe piece. It sounds like alot but once you and your birkies get acquainted they are truly an awesome shoe! Also in terms of size Birks are true to fit...in euro sizes. For the USA folks that means order about 1 to 1.5 sizes down. That should work.

    Love these shoes - Birkenstock never lets me down. These shoes are so comfortable and look great on. They need one wearing to get broken in between the toe, but after just one wearing, they feel like old favorites. I'm going to buy more colors.

    LOVE MY BIRKIES - Gizeh has always been my favorite Birk, my last pair I bought 12 years ago and it was time to say goodbye I replaced them with the Soft Gloss Bordeaux and I love them they're much richer in color than what you see in the picture, I ordered them in half a size smaller and narrow because they do run bigger, comfortable as always and great style.

    Nice - I purchased these shoes for my wife a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure of her size, so I looked through her shoe rack and noted all of the sizes. They fit her perfect and she says they are very comfortable...Zappos rules.

    BEST SANDALS FOR PROPER FOOT ALIGNMENT - In the Gizeh I have to buy them one size smaller and in the regular width for proper fit. I normally wear a 36N. In these I got a 35R. They do take a while to break in for the toe bar, BUT they are definately worth it. They are beautiful on and extremely comfortable! LOVE EM

    Birkenstock Gizeh - Adorable sandals! The toe thong took me a few days to get completely used to - the way this shoe is made isn't quite as comfortable as the Taboras at first. However, they are now just as comfortable as all of my other Birks! (Sizing tip: I take a 40N in all lines of Birkenstocks, but just like another person said, I had to get 39R because of the way this particular style fits.)

    Gorgeous Red Sandals - It was love at first sight. Zappos didn't have my size (42R) in the Boudeaux, so I actually bought them elsewhere. But let me say that this is a great-looking sandal. The leather is a clear, rich red--not an outdated drab burgundy or a fire-engine red--and it looks nice on my foot. The Gizeh is much more graceful than the traditional Birkenstock 2-strap sandal, which I've worn since high school. I think this looks more polished & stylish enough to wear to work, out to dinner, etc. I have high arches and need supportive sandals--it's nice to find a pair that are actually sexy and good for my feet. I deducted a star because they're a bit stiff at first, like every other pair of Birks I've owned. I can feel a blister forming on the top of my foot where the strap rubs, but the leather is already softening.

    Love this shoe - The color is really terrific! Like a rich bordeaux wine color. The comfort is amazing ( I have the hardest feet to fit with shoes). However, I took the advice and got this a size smaller and they fit perfectly. I am normally a size 6-6 1/2M and I got 35normal. I will buy this again in different colors and patterns. I'm not clear on the comments about the thong. If you wear flip flops one should be used to wearing something like this. Cheers
